Have you checked your throttle body? Some of the cheaper aftermarkets like BBK will stick like how you are describing- lube the pivot shafts on the butterfly valve, check for play or tollerance as I have seen them worn out and not shutting/sticking.. Also check/lube the throttle linkage at the TB.-

is the throttle cable physically sticking, or is the idle just hanging?
scan the car for codes, but it sounds like your neutral switch/clutch switch circuit has a problem, or the VSS (vehical speed sensor) isn't hooked up...is your speedometer working?

Yup Yup. Check that throttle body. They do wear out especially cheap ones.
